About
Provided by Axinn
Axinn is a go-to firm for high-stakes litigation matters, including class actions, multidistrict litigation, and trials. The firm has extensive jury and bench trial experience, with its lawyers trying more than 100 cases, including antitrust, IP and commercial matters, as well as one of the few class action cases to go to trial. Its partners are fellows in the American College of Trial Lawyers and the Litigation Counsel of America, and are often brought in to handle cases that are close to trial. Axinn’s Litigation Group has defeated billions of dollars in asserted liability for defendants and obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for plaintiffs, regularly finding creative solutions to its clients’ most intractable problems. The firm’s ability to identify and implement creative solutions is one of the many reasons clients return to the firm and new clients, some witnesses to its work on the opposite side of litigation, engage the firm to handle their most important matters. Beyond antitrust, IP and commercial litigation, Axinn is also well-regarded for its work in professional liability and malpractice matters, having built a reputation for its work among other leading professional services firms.
